Blending tech, metal, and groove.
Technology dominates every aspect of modern human culture. While it continues to improve global communication at an exponential rate, it has also provided a solid platform for smartphone addiction. Social media companies intentionally design their applications with dopamine triggers to keep their audience hungry for more. The average smartphone user obediently spends hours of their day consuming the content of others.
Machine Dependent’s message is a reminder that every time we reach for our phone, we have a choice: will it be used as a tool to enhance our learning, or will we choose to remain dependent?

•••••••• LYRICS ••••••••
Growing up subjected
To completely broken parenting methods
Thinking you were special
Given participation medals
Thrown into the real world and quickly realise
That you’re not f*cking special and were told a pack of lies
Life is war
Life is pain
Tension rising high
Your health is in decline
Your futures on the line
Desire to be free
Complete catastrophe
Living in agony
Tension rising high
Your health is in decline
Your futures on the line
Easily offended
Discontented
Machine Dependent
I can feel the fear inside your head
Your in a state of constant dread
Eyes are blinded by the blue light
Walking around like the undead
But still you want more
Such a desperate need to boost the credit score
Where’s the social approval that you’re looking for?
Life is war
Life is pain
Chorus
Tension rising high
Your health is in decline
Your futures on the line
Desire to be free
Complete catastrophe
Living in agony
Tension rising high
Your health is in decline
Your futures on the line
Easily offended
Discontented
Machine Dependent
Constant engagement with your comforting machine
Temporary relief fueled by hits of dopamine
An angry voice inside that is screaming at you
That you’re a f*cking loser, this you’ll never get through
On the outside just fine, inside you're dying
Aching feeling within
Each time you’re feeling the state of disconcertion
Temporarily relieve your symptoms
Tension rising high
Your health is in decline
Your futures on the line
Desire to be free
Complete catastrophe
Living in agony
Tension rising high
Your health is in decline
Your futures on the line
Easily offended
Discontented
Machine Dependent
